The Spirit and Flesh Hook Pull is a body-based ritual, where one is pierced with sterile needles and hooks temporarily inserted on either side of the heart chakra and pulls against the piercings. This ritual focuses on sensation to reach an altered state of being or consciousness, often referred to as an ecstatic state. This ritual can be used to celebrate a passage, mourn a loss, heal old wounds, explore one's self, connect with a partner, connect with a higher power, or any other purpose that suits you.

Nice

Four hooks, two front, two back. Easy in. I cried a little, put my obsidian spheres on long lines and danced and spun while they swirled, cried a little, laughed some, had Tillie and the other guy pull for awhile, screamed some, sang some, cried some, laughed some, and after awhile longer the hooks came out.

It was nice.

There was closing circle, opening circle, and an altar if we wanted to put things on it. There ws socially pulling interaction, but I as usual ended up very solitary most of the time.

I went many places, to the it's okay crying place, to the place where I was the free floating unencumbered center, to the column of light and power, to a place where my body was so much plastic and my soul swung wailing, to many more places.

Always I was and am myself.

"So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and
Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life,
Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and
Its purpose in the service of your people.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and
Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and
For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks,
The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing,
For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts
Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes
They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again
In a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
